SIERRA MADRE ANNOUNCES EXTENSION TO FIRST MAJESTIC LOAN
Sierra Madre Gold and Silver Ltd. has amended the non-revolving, secured term loan in the amount of $5-million (U.S.) between the company and First Majestic Silver Corp.; please see Sierra Madre press release dated May 8, 2024, for details of the original loan announcement.
The loan now has a maturity date of May 7, 2027, which represents a 12-month extension of the original term, with no other changes. The loan bears interest at a rate of 15 per cent per annum with payments of interest only due monthly. In accordance with the original agreement, the company has deferred payment of the first six months of interest in the amount of $365,000 (U.S.), which is payable upon maturity of the loan. The company may repay the loan and accrued interest at any time, without penalty.
Alex Langer, Sierra Madre's president and chief executive officer, states: "We are very pleased about the extension of this loan and are grateful for First Majestic's ongoing support. This amendment is expected to provide the flexibility for Sierra Madre to potentially increase plant and mill capacity at our Guitarra silver-gold mine in Mexico's silver belt and also allow us expedite a district-wide exploration program."
